Honestly, would you find much interest anymore in watching sports if you had NO wagers involved?

I wager NBA, but cant stand to watch it for the record.

I LOVE College Football but don't bet on it. Baseball and basketball are both pretty boring and I rarely ever watch a full game(don't bet on those either). I watched a LOT of boxing before I gambled. When I saw some of the odds on some of the fights I cringed because I would have won. After seeing this happen enough I finally started to gamble. With or without action I LOVE football and boxing. I don't give a shit about the other sports.

I watch high school and college sports all the time, I would much rather see UCIrvine play live than Lakers. Also hard to stomach the nfl, players arent very good and the fans are stupid drunks.

Interesting question.
When I first started betting about 12 years ago I would NEVER watch a game I bet on. Too much stress for 3 hours or so. If I did back then I would have to have several drinks.
Today, I would watch but I don't bet the game just because it's on t.v.
If the game isn't going my way I get pissed off and watch another game. I just don't like getting stressed out for that long of time.
My hairline reflects that. Lol.

there is nothing more boring than watching sports. If I don't have a bet on it, the why the hell would I care about a stupid Pirates/Brewers game, or a useless Lions/Chargers game? Big deal!! Who cares who wins this useless game. How would this change my life? I would rather watch a good Seinfeld episode, or some funny show on tv, or some movie or Leno or Letterman. Who cares about sports. It is sooo boring. Like I said, I have to have big money on that game to watch it, and even then, I would still probably watch regular tv.

Sports is boring. There is more to life than also staying home and watching sports when you can be out socializing, or going out to eat or even go out and see a show or an event. Whenever i stay home and watch sports, that is when i really feel the most that i am a big LOSER...

Thre are not many sports fans here by reading this thread and lots of degenerate gamblers instead.

 

[blueedwards]

jj, you have 3,000 posts in a gambling forum in less than 3 months and you're calling us degenerates?

 

[jjgold]

I am a degenerate poster but not a degenerate gambler.

Good Luck Blue

 

[HacheMan]

OMG, JJ, I rarely get

into confrontations between others, but I must say that blue got ya on that one!.........no offense....

 

[wilheim]

Is there such a thing as a degenerate degenerate?

wil.

 

[blueedwards]

wil, yes but its a double-negative. so, a degenerate degenerate is a nice fellow with a lot of self control.

 

[wilheim]

LOL - So its a degenerate degenerate degenerate then. Or is that a triple negative. Some of the great degenerates of the last 100 years.

1. Ratso Rizzo
2. O.J. Simpson
3. Saddam Hussein
4. JJ Gold
5. Fidel Castro


wil.

 

[oldmantime]

I'm kinda in a similiar boat with blue edwards. But probably less. No nfl or nba. Baseball, Playoffs and world series, I would watch. Plus the final 16 in March madness. But that's about it!

 

[oldmantime]

If Congress passes a law that punishes the player, this fall when they return, I am through playing on the internet 100%.

My first love was horse racing and that will be it.It looks like YouBet.com will still be ok in this state and in others.

Oh yes--I will definately MISS sports big time-But--what's the point if you can no longer enjoy it!

 

[kimchee]

Unfortunately for me, I HAVE to place a wager regardless of the sport to enjoy it . The only Sport that fulfills my Needs without having to bet is ... SOCCER !
